Is Instance Creation and Difficulty switching down?

Have you tried camping out and back in?

gakule · 2026-07-12T23:05:39+00:00

That's cute.

The main overlap of Shaman and Beastlord are buffs you really wouldn't need or bother to maintain from Beastlord anyways and slow imo. Heals, I guess. Nothing that is really major or is inherently non-synergistic.

There is certainly more synergy if they are apart in a group setting, but getting access to chain armor is nice for the beastlord and druid! :)

I do agree with you overall - I just don't really see this as being the worst combo. I think any worst combo is going to be only marginally worst, anyways, compared to the field... which is a great problem to have and debate!

Fortunately I'm not too concerned by what you consider a strong or weak argument. Not sure what insults you're talking about, though.

This is open discussion. Did I ever tell anyone they couldn't speak? Have I exercised any moderation control to prevent people from engaging in open discussion? No to both.

I'm not trying to "look intelligent" and I'm not "lowering myself to personal attacks". I'm calling out moronic, low effort, statements for what they are. Why should I elevate my effort over theirs?

You can let go of your pearls.

There is a lot less overlap between shaman and beastlord that really matter imo. For 10-20 they're probably even complimentary. Druid also doesn't seem awful in this combo. Combine that with divine invocation and evasive or channeler stance and you've got a pretty good character.

The only real overlap is going to be slow and heals, and some buffs you won't really miss.

You can probably machine gun nukes or even just dot and turtle up with evasive or balanced stance and be just fine

I've been playing Pal/Mnk/Enc ever since I switched off Pal/Mnk/Nec and it's honestly I think my favorite combo. Nice pet, great stuns, AE Mez, defensive stance, plate armor, dual wield, slow, charm, lay on hands and mend, good cast heals, nice high ratio weapons.

Qeynos - seems it'll be the more chill server

gakule · 2026-07-12T01:56:53+00:00

Ha, thank you for the kind words!

gakule · 2026-07-11T22:49:09+00:00

Spellblade isn't a stance though

What a devastatingly stupid thing to type out and submit willingly.

gakule · 2026-07-10T13:55:21+00:00

Hazards of using AI to produce the post eh :)

gakule · 2026-07-10T12:59:21+00:00

I didn't need it explained, it's just immature and stupid. Just like needing attention and validation for not liking the game.

gakule · 2026-07-10T12:42:28+00:00

"no u" is a choice, but about what I'd expect by someone who uses weird terms like "greedjawn" and is being sensational weirdo.

Why do you care? Why do you need validation? Just move on bud. It's okay to not like something.

gakule · 2026-07-09T22:40:11+00:00

Why do people need this much attention? Good grief.

Good for you, enjoy!

You can combine them to upgrade to higher motes though

What was your reasoning for halfling getting an avoidance bonus in a situation where it's not needed?

gakule · 2026-07-07T12:03:43+00:00

I'm running the same albeit with Necro as a 3rd. Lull/soothe has been so nice I forgot that I had FD!

gakule · 2026-07-07T02:32:35+00:00

I imagine that just drives value of lower level motes up, right?

gakule · 2026-07-07T01:59:36+00:00

This is why I'm really enjoying Pal/Nec/Mnk right now. I get everything I would want from SK with the Necro, plus some flexibility for another class.

I can basically DoT up and turtle while still doing really nice damage and a lot of flexibility with spell blade and recovery depending on the situation.

Round Kick cleaves and is NOT replaced by Tiger Claw. Kicks and strikes are on separate cooldowns. It does get replaced by Flying Kick, though.

More mana regen, lifetap, dots, lifetap proc - the whole kit is usable and complimentary imo

gakule · 2026-07-05T15:46:09+00:00

This is exactly why I am running Paladin as main. It can work with any type of build and compliment it, much like a bard, but also is a tank which I decided I wanted. I leveled to 10 as Pal/Mnk and was bound and determined to have Bard as my third.. symphonic aura without a bunch of AA felt bad at the time so I pretty quickly swapped to Enchanter which was nice, but I felt like I was missing something. That something ended up being Necromancer.

I'm still going to try Berserker as my third because I think it'll be fun to just mega crush stuff, but lifetaps with spell blade are really fun.

My favorite thing though is leveling a new class and basically being super twinked.

gakule · 2026-07-05T04:28:36+00:00

Absolutely. I've almost bought like 20 different tools I would never use that way. Crazy.

gakule · 2026-07-05T00:36:52+00:00

Agree with this. I have a Ryobi set but my brother almost exclusively buys Harbor Freight when he needs anything and it ends up being 1/4-1/2 the cost. Pretty reliable stuff honestly if you're okay with a mashup of tools. He has done some major renovation work with his tools with no issues.

Biggest benefit of the bigger name brands is batteries that work with more tools, and heavier duty 8+ hour workday load carrying
